While the majority of climate change scientists focus on the «direct» threats of changing temperatures and precipitation after 2031, far fewer researchers are studying how short - term human adaptation responses to seasonal changes and extreme weather events may threaten the survival of wildlife and ecosystems much sooner.

He looked at both average seasonal snowfall and extreme snowfall events under current climate conditions, and also following projected future warming.

A new analysis published in the journal Environmental Research Letters establishes that seasonal forecast sea surface temperature (SSTs) can be used to perform probabilistic extreme - event attribution, thereby accelerating the time it takes climate scientists to understand and quantify the role of global warming in certain classes of extreme weather events.

Instead, the model results for, say, the mean climate, or the change in recent decades or the seasonal cycle or response to El Niño events, are compared to the equivalent analyses in the gridded observations.

Through its actions, NCAR seems to be stating that physical science alone holds the key to coping with climate change, or even working to improve our resilience during typical seasonal fluctuations and weather events.

Pluto's climate change over the last 14 years is likely a seasonal event.

Catering: The selection of local, seasonal and organically produced products can help to reduce the climate footprint of your event.

This change in long timescale climate variability could have influences on extreme events and seasonal variability.

The increase in trapped heat changes the climate and alters weather patterns, which may change the timing of seasonal natural events, and the frequency of extreme weather events.

Recent government contracts for CFAN include a DOE contract to develop extended range regional wind power forecasts, a DOD contract to predict extreme events associated with climate variability / change having implications for regional stability, and a NOAA contract to improve sub seasonal forecasting.

Evidence suggests that the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation was driven in part by warm air (air warmed by the dramatic seasonal loss of Arctic sea ice) 9 as well as by changes in snow cover over Eurasia driven by climate change.10 This event is part of an emerging trend in which a warming climate may paradoxically bring colder, snowier winters to northern Europe and the eastern United States.11

Since essentially the entire geographic region experiences a qualitatively Mediterranean climate — with strongly seasonal precipitation and a very distinct (but globally uncommon) summer dry season — most of California's annual precipitation derives from a relatively small handful of major cool - season precipitation events.

«A climate pattern may come in the form of a regular cycle, like the diurnal cycle or the seasonal cycle; a quasi periodic event, like El Niño; or a highly irregular event, such as a volcanic winter... A mode of variability is a climate pattern with identifiable characteristics, specific regional effects, and often oscillatory behavior... the mode of variability with the greatest effect on climates worldwide is the seasonal cycle, followed by El Niño - Southern Oscillation, followed by thermohaline circulation.»

If they can attribute individual weather events to long term «climate change», then they can surely predict daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal weather events as well.

An improved dynamical understanding of how the tropical Pacific Ocean transitions into hiatus events, including its seasonal structure, may help to improve future prediction of decadal climate variations.

Individual seasonal weather events such as a «snowmageddon» or heat waves can not be directly attributed to either argument of the climate change debate because such events alone are temporary affects.

The region is strongly affected by seasonal and interdecadal climate variability, such as El Niño events and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.

What the paper does focus on, Hansen said, is determining whether extreme weather events like the Texas heat wave can be attributed to climate variability — the natural ups and downs in seasonal temperature — or to the global upward trend in summer temperatures that science now links with climate change.
